 align="char">
<para>This system call, used with a device name of /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0,
 allocates a new filter and returns a handle which can be used for subsequent
 control of that filter. This call has to be made for each filter to be used, i.e. every
 returned file descriptor is a reference to a single filter. /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
 is a logical device to be used for retrieving Transport Streams for digital
 video recording. When reading from this device a transport stream containing
 the packets from all PES filters set in the corresponding demux device
 (/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0) having the output set to DMX_OUT_TS_TAP. A
 recorded Transport Stream is replayed by writing to this device. </para>
<para>The significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the
 documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not affect the
 semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in blocking mode can later
 be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) using the F_SETFL command
 of the fcntl system call.</para>

<para>When returning section data the driver always tries to return a complete single

 the read operations are not performed fast enough, this may result in a buffer
 overflow error. In this case EOVERFLOW will be returned, and the circular
 buffer will be emptied. This call is blocking if there is no data to return, i.e. the

 from a logical DVR demux device, the data will constitute a Transport Stream
